About the Massey Ferguson 290

The Massey Ferguson 290 Tractor first came out at a price of $21,100 (1986), but you might be one of the lucky ones who found a good deal lower than that. The bad news is that, like any other tractor, the Massey Ferguson 290 Tractor needs spare parts to keep it running; the good news is that we have all the parts you need at 60% off dealer prices in our inventory. Sometimes, the parts compatibility is determined by the serial number of your Massey Ferguson 290 Tractor, and that info should be listed on the part fit notes. If you don't have the serial number of your tractor, you can find it on the instrument console on right side. The serial number starts from 386453 for a 1983 model, from 389947 for a 1984 model, from 393422 for a 1985 model, from 723909 for a 1986 model. Some Massey Ferguson 290 Tractors have a 4x2 2WD chassis, but there are also some with a 4x4 MFWD 4WD (optional) chassis, all equipped with hydrostatic power steering. They also have differential hydraulic wet disc brakes. The type II 3-point hitch is very reliable. It is also worth noting that the live (dual clutch) rear PTO runs at 540 rpms.
